[Featuring Johnny P]
Verse One: Belo
Since I'm 'Lo let me flex this
If there's somethin on yo' mind recline and check this
Song smooth not reckless
Swing it high and ride from 'Side to Texas
Give the game up since I came up
Blew my name up check out the rhythm
make them all want to flame up
Strike a match to a lighter
A message to a young ridah on the sight of
pimp poetry I make you lighter than a feather in your dime hat
Bitchin to skins, saw that
I can tell you where the mob at
At the click, summer sunnin where the broads at
Diggin all that, smokin weed until they come and we can fall back
Shootin back for the small scratch
Trey-Fo' what you call that?
Pull up my drawers Girbauds and doze to pros got called
by the po-po, save it for the phone doe
Bond DeVille, flossin off behind the wheel it's appeal
Took a chill, but I still had to pose
And if I pause, it's because I left my car and the phone
Chorus: Johnny P

With a playa, like me, and you, oh babe
Can you smoke it right
With a playa, like me, and you
Verse Two: AK-47
See uhh, laid back I'ma let the proper game at two rats
In the roll like two sacks
Dub essential when my homey came up
On the same drug for layin up they holla who that
Double check, just a couple hoes
Tryin to see where my head was at
On some problem shit
Wish to be up within the party shit
With the blunts and Bacardi shit
With the way she was dressed she might as well
had nuttin on your body bitch
Hit the red on my side cause you know how a party get
Nuttin but the proper cheese
To squeeze a little on and scoot on to proper chick
But really doe, once a man advance
and bend blocks smoke the last of these
Pimp cats done CC's
Heavy G's ninety-six flippin clips bout naturally
Bags seized through Darnell
Heavy sacks and drop-tops
Now look on your map and spot
where we, are-I-D, E, and smoke
Chorus
Verse Three: Belo
I, made my money on the DL
Closed shop in the Pontiac we bail
To the mall to ball we're all pall
Cause a brother gonna floss in front of these females
To the retail
Five double oh period double oh these suits
The Girbaud with the boots
Then I scoop, up the loot
Paid the cash and dashed past the lab or the members of
Put my foot in motion, exits the sto' with my brand new gear
Spring game in her ear
Tell her Miss to please me and dance till it'll make me hear
Get her dizzy off the Stanberg
Girlie had to run for months to pump up but I'ma handle her
like a man, I'ma stand if I fall
And when I fall, then the city better make the call
Left the mall, by the minutes of clothes
I suppose I get dressed to impress these hoes
Getty shoe fresh Guess from head to toe
Only wearin in the do' what the playas know
Bet y'all want to see me niggaz want to be me
Never will they pimp free, pimp costs
And I get lost on the slide for the Ave gettin high while we ride

Overall Meaning

The first verse of "Playa Like Me and You" by Do or Die featuring Johnny P begins with Belo taking the lead. As he flexes his respect, he invites his listeners to recline and enjoy the smooth and sensible song without being reckless. As the hip-hop duo hails from the Midwest, from where they moved to the Western United States, it has been a journey. Thus, Belo uses the lyrics to invite his audience for a ride "from the 'Side to Texas." The purpose of the music is to influence others in their choices, and Belo says he's decided to give away some game since he made it. The rhythm of the song inspires listeners to flame up, as they light a match and strike it to a lighter. Belo informs other young riders of the lifestyle that comes with pimp poetry, giving them tips on where they can locate the mob at and where the broads are at for the summer sunning click.


The second verse begins with AK-47, who announces that he's laid back during the proper game, with two rats in the roll, like two sacks of dub essential. AK-47's lyrics include a description of how his homeboy and he came across the same drug before laying low to advertise, "holla who that?" He goes on to describe a party where everyone indulges in the right product to ensure that the correct kind of "chick" is present. Once you have found the right female to spend time with, he goes on to elaborate on how good the experience can be. AK-47's first verse ends with the lines, "heavy sacks and drop-tops/ Now look on your map and spot/ where we are-I-D, E and smoke."


Belo returns with his seconds verse of 'Playa Like Me and You' where he describes his financial success on the 'DL' and how they travel in a Pontiac to the mall. When they get to the mall, they are going to wear the latest gear to show off in front of the girls. In the song, Belo explores the lifestyle of a "playa" who is always dressed in fresh clothing from head to toe. That's the way the playas know, and everybody wants to see what they're wearing. Belo's lyrics give a glimpse into the fashion choices of the urban crowd, from sporting Girbaud clothing to wearing Guess from head to toe. The chorus comes in repeatedly after each verse, reminding listeners to keep smoking and riding, especially with a playa like them.
